General Comments
I bought this Sony STR-DB790 AMP/RECEIVER when I wanted to add surround sound to my setup, it replaced an Arcam Alpha and in 'direct' stereo mode I can't tell the difference - enough said. The internal D/A converter is pretty nice too.
In summary I now have a stereo setup that's as good as it was with the Arcam and a DVD that sounds better than the local multiplex.
